Powersteering belt
I got my 1996 maxima se serviced a while back and I was looking over the recipt and I noticed they said I need a new power steering belt. Where could I get it for a decent price? This was about 2 months ago so I hope I didn't mess anything up. Please respond, thank you.

New power steering belt is about $10 from any auto parts store. Get the other belt too (alt, A/C etc), as you'll have to remove the Alt belt to get to the power steering belt and it'll only cost you an extra $10-15.
You are about to experience one fo the most annoying jobs on the maxima... The belts are both hel in place using the wackiest deisgn of belt tensioners I have ever seen... Get hold of a shop manual, though, and you can do it. Just remember to loosen ALL bolts listed in the procedure otherwise turning the tensioner will just wreck it (I nearly wrecked the PS tensioner by forgetting to loosen the lower rear PS backet bolt.
And use blue threadlocker on the locknut for the Alt belt tensioner - my max puked the belt a couple weeks later because the nut came loose...
